Method

  1. 1

    Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large flameproof casserole and brown the chicken thighs on both sides, then set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the onion to the pan and cook for 6 minutes, then stir in the garlic and ground cinnamon for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken to the pan with the tinned chopped tomatoes and bay leaves. Season well and bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Cover and cook gently for 35 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining and the sauce has thickened.

  6. 6

    Remove the bay leaves, scatter with chopped parsley and serve.
